A myth-busting explanation of inflation, the desperate gullibility of central bankers and finance ministersand our abject failure to learn from history

 
From investors and monetary authorities to governments and policy makers, almost everyone had assumed inflation was dead and buried. But now people the world over are confronting a poisonous new economic reality and, with it, the prospect of vast and increasing wealth inequality.

Kingone of the few to warn ahead of time about the latest inflationary upheavalidentifies key lessons from the history of inflation that policy makers chose not to heed.
